Tucked away just southwest of Golden Gate Bridge is a gem called Lands End Labrynth. In all the time I've lived in northern Cali I never stumbled across this place until now. I stumbled across it while looking for beaches to go to and found one of the most beautiful spots I've seen in the San Fransisco area.
There is a short hike down to the lookout/beach of which it has both. The beach is a epic little sand beach with very little traffic and some of the most beautiful landscapes you get to see from Cali. Right next to that is Lands End and a constructed stone labyrinth. The view from this low cliff looking back at the Golden Gate is surreal. Pictures looked like the backgrounds were paintings.

You can go off trail as I said and wonder around just remember where you came from. You could walk around the neighborhood once off the trail and find your way to China Beach. It’s just a great place to go hike and plenty of different ways you can go. You could even end up all the way at the Golden Gate bridge. If you're a beginner you can do this just take your time and take breaks if you need to but for sure give this trail a shot because the views are...
